GF-N F50 profile

For fixing small-parts holders, tags and signs directly on the profile, so the cross member also serves as a label holder. It is useful on the front cross members of workstations and shelving, where the operator picks.

They have the same Ø 28 mm pipe and differ in flange width: the F50 is wider, for signs and small-parts holders; the F35 is narrower, slightly stiffer and also used as a tray support. The F50 weighs 0.65 kg/m, the F35 0.67.

With GF-N series connectors, which clamp onto the Ø 28 pipe. When we prepare the component list we check with you the orientation of the flange relative to the joints, so that it does not interfere with the connectors.

Yes: the flange raises the moment of inertia to 3.04 × 10⁴ mm⁴ on the x axis, against 1.16 × 10⁴ for the GF-N pipe. The weight rises to 0.65 kg/m.

Adhesive labels go directly on the flat flange. For tags that change often, a label holder or small-parts holder fixed on the flange is more practical: we will recommend the components based on what you need to identify.

With 28 series inner end caps, the same as for the standard pipe: aluminium, expanding, rounded or ESD.

The standard GF-N profile is suitable for most uprights and cross members. If a cross member is long or loaded use the GF-N W fitted upright (about 10 times stiffer), or the T (about 1.5 times) or the Hard (about 1.7 times, also for joints that take impacts), which have the same diameter. To fix plate castors, panels or rollers with T-nuts choose the profile with C10 slot; F35 and F50 have a flat flange for labels, small parts holders and supports. The sliding profile has a smooth surface for sliding parts and boxes, the round roller profile becomes a roller with the pin connectors, LS and LS with S slot carry a linear slide and the linear guide profile is the track for the linear rollers.

The GF-N Ø 28 is the standard for workstations, flow racks and trolleys. The GF-S Ø 19 weighs about half as much (0.20 kg/m versus 0.37) and is for light frames, dividers, guards and small mechanisms. The GF-G Ø 43 is for uprights and cross members that have to carry a lot: over a 1000 mm span it supports 851 N at the centre versus 195 N for the GF-N, for the same deflection. It is often worth mixing them, for example GF-G uprights and GF-N cross members joined by mixed connectors.

Yes. Green Frame profiles can be ordered as 4000 mm bars or cut to the length you need: we do the cutting ourselves, in our workshop. Give us the dimensions of the pieces or send us a sketch of the structure and we will prepare the cutting list.

Yes. The standard series is GF-N (Ø 28 mm pipe); GF-S (Ø 19 mm) is lighter and more compact, GF-G (Ø 43 mm) is for stiffer structures. There are mixed connectors that join pipes from different series, for example a Ø 19 or Ø 43 pipe to a Ø 28 pipe, so you use the right diameter at every point of the structure.

No. The connectors are fixed to the pipe with hex socket screws: a hex key is all you need. Loosen the screw, insert the pipe, bring it into position and tighten. No welding, drilling or painting.

Yes, it is the strength of the pipe system: loosen the connectors, move or replace the pipes and retighten. You can raise a shelf, extend a workbench or reuse the components in another structure when the process changes, with continuous improvement in mind.

Yes. We can design the structure (workstation, flow rack, trolley, line-side supermarket) with the load calculation and deliver it to you assembled or as a kit with the parts already cut and the list of components.

No. Profiles and connectors are in anodised aluminium: the surface resists corrosion and wear without painting and is easy to clean.

Yes. The range includes conductive components such as ESD inner end caps, ESD clips for electrical continuity between pipe and connector, and ESD inserts for levelling feet and castors. Tell us which EPA area you work in and we will tell you the components to use.
